I ordered a bluetooth GPS receiver yesterday that I plan to use with my A101 (It was $19 yesterday; it's $26 today). I've heard a couple people mention on here that this can work. Any suggestions by anyone on what my next step should be? Should I use Google Maps, or is there a better mapping application that I can use?

Ok, I have Gps working using a bluetooth reciever i bought on ebay for ┬ú5

You need a bluetooth gps program, Theres plenty in the app store, im using one called bluegps, theres also one called something like "gps mouse"? but that only connects you 10 mins at a time in the free version (PRess reconnect every 10 mins)

You pair the devices, and it comes up with "paired not connected" <- the gps program sorts connecting them out

Gps works in the maps, worked in navigation for me as well (Other say it doesnt)

Erm, Maps and navi dont store them offline, so i paid for Navdroyd which does store offline

Every time I tried purchasing through A101, it wouldn't complete the authorization

I purchased it on my phone because website says you can transfer it from one android to another by deactivating the first.

I didn't start (or complete) the reg on my phone and tried to do it on the tablet. I got trial expired messages.

my phone started giving low memory warning so I deleted copilot through applications (not market because I didn't want to cancel order) it canceled it anyway.

I went back to tablet and tried again and still no luck, so I bought it on phone (no refund now) installed it all the way, dl'd small local map and then tried to deactivate - can't greyed out.

I contact support re: can't deactivate and their professional response is - we don't support archos tablets, here's a link to the 3 supported devices - bubbye - paraphrased.

I have read elsewhere that they are a little retarded on their licensing and it takes days to activate a purchase, so I am hoping that is the answer and once it is fully active, I can deactivate it and install on tablet.

Yes this works and has been discussed in depth on other threads. There are apps for android and windows mobile which let you use them as bluetooth GPS devices. I personally use my Omnia 2 for both data and GPS.
